Special Players' Numbers

[rac]

What numbers do you give certain guys in your dynasty as a "tradition" such as how michigan gives #1 to (?) its best wide receiver and syracuse #44 (again ?) to its best running back. Give certain criteria that must be met for the number.(ie.class, position, stats)

I don't give any particular numbers but I'll usually change big recruits numbers if I don't like them. Especially wide receivers, who always seem to have numbers in the 80's once they are recruited. I usually make sure some of my better receivers have some single digit numbers like #1 or #9. I am quite picky on who wears Rudy's #45 though; I play as Notre Dame.

I observe Ohio State's tradition of retired numbers (I wish EA would put these in the game for all schools). I don't retire the jersey of guys I win the Heisman with in the game. Maybe I should this year.

Since there isn't anything close to an 85 man roster, all my graduating seniors and NFL entrants have their number "retired" for the following year.

For me it all depends. If there is one player that puts together a career that is absolutely amazing, I will give that # to a future player if he earns it his first few years.

But for certain teams, there are numbers I wont allow any player to wear. #17 and #2 at FSU (Charlie Ward, Deion Sanders).

I don't let them wear #2, #17, #25, #34, #50, or #53 and only beast get to wear #28, #9, #16, #55, and #10. I don't assign #19 freely either.

Starting out, I don't have any numbers retired. But as seasons progress, if a player is truly special for my program, his number will be retired. With recruits, I do some number changing around too - I try to get at least one skill position starter with a number in the single digits.

I usually give a backup free safety or linebacker the #12 and control him on kickoff coverage for A&M's 12th Man.

When I play as Notre Dame I give the special skills player #3.
